Musings on Balance

I say, let your affairs be as two or three, and not a hundred or a thousand; instead of a million, count a half dozen, and keep your accounts to a thumbnail...simplify, simplify, simplify.

From the Art of Pilgrimage:

The five excellent practices of pilgrimage:
1. Practice the arts of attention and listening.
2. Renew yourself everyday.
3. Practice meandering to the center of every place.
4. Practice the ritual of reading sacred texts.
5. Practice gratitude and praise singing.


Reflect on this: What is enough?
